The lawyer on the phone said it was 133 but I thought the therapist said it was 109 when I was last there.

My family likely didnt have enoug money for the privte schol which asked about me when I was three or four but that wouldve likely changed the entire trajectory of my life. They didnt need me at public school and I didnt need to be there either. I would stop short of saying I was "too good" to be there but it wasnt the best environment for me and I didnt really bring much to discussions or anything either so it works both ways. Not going to that private school at age 4 is one of my lifes greatest regrets.

Public school is basically a holding pen to keep adolescent kids from getting in trouble or starting gangs or something. Plus after child labor laws were created they needed a place to store all the retarded labor drones.

If you want to learn actual stuff you have to do it on your own. Youre not gonna learn it in the class room.

It is funny you mention that because he is generally against watering down wine too much unless the head is really in pain and wine is too much.

On Airs, Waters and Places by Hippocrates I strongly recommend because it is very memeable. It has ancient race science, transgenderism/ third gender, and dicussion of how climate ffects health of course in backwards ways like "the wind blows east so you are susceptible to catracts in this town." I also recommend On Hemrrhoids just because it is an interesting read and only two pages.

>Eats only raw meat and organs, claims it is the most natural and therefore healthy diet

Natural =\= healthy

Go live in the woods naked eating weeds if that is healthiest.

He was barely a philosopher if you could even call him that.

>Wherefore I have not thought that it stood in need of an empty hypothesis, like those subjects which are occult and dubious, in attempting to handle which it is necessary to use some hypothesis; as, for example, with regard to things above us and things below the earth; if any one should treat of these and undertake to declare how they are constituted, the reader or hearer could not find out, whether what is delivered be true or false; for there is nothing which can be referred to in order to discover the truth.


In this quote he is mocking Socrates and philosophy in general. “Things above and below the earth” is a quote from Plato’s Apology where Socrates was repeating negative things which critics like Aristophanes had accused him of. Hippo is saying here his method is provable unlike Sophistry.

He would definitely have been pro-vax without a doubt. He outright tells his students to make their patients drink barley concoctions and cut the veins in their arms to bleed out so personal welfare wouldn’t have outweighed curing the patient to him.

>>15758370
He definitely knew about high blood sugar and low blood sugar because he discusses in several different books the symptoms of people who skip a regularly scheduled meal or eat a second meal when they are unaccustomed to eating that much. He also properly says that people who eat too much should drink water to cool down their insides which is what doctors nowadays recommend to people with high blood sugars. He says this stuff in On Ancient Medicine and In the Regimen in Acute Diseases.

Of course I love pjw. This is a science board and of course what sources do we like here? Pjw of course

Generally, doctors prescribed different diets or abstaining from food all together. Medicine and cooking were basically the same field in antiquity.

None of those things were known when humors were the main scientific topic in antiquity and the Middle Ages. OP is mixing 1800s medicine with antiquity in a giant anachronism. On Ancient Medicine is a quick read on medicine in antiquity if the topic interests you.

>>15755386
Humors were way before opium. In ancient times they gave you a barley wheat drink which was probably terrible and also cut your veins to bleed out.

In “On Regimen in Acute Diseases”, Hippocrates discusses sick people who usually eat one meal a deal but are prescribed two. This second meal upsets them greatly. Through the symptoms he describes you can tell he is noting that it gives them a high blood sugar. What is interesting is that he correctly says they should drink water to cool it down. This is what the endocrinologist tells us nowadays. His precision is incredible.

Most of the great "white innovations" were in a short period in a 115 IQ average Greece iirc. Also the very few men who were the greats existed outside the average so it is pointless to speculate on anyway.

On Airs, Waters and Places by Hippocrates

It is important to understand the health effects of living in an eastern vs northern facing city.

>What's truly remarkable is that you think "meaningfully observing some objective reality" is some recent invention of your rationalist golem cult and not something the average man has been doing since the beginning of mankind.
>The Ancient Greeks had no trouble with it.

Tell that to the people who banned the Pythagoreans from southern Italy because they likened them to a cult.

Hippocrates didn’t understand that heavy clothing makes your body sweat in heat. He seemed to believe that the other parts of your body uncovered do sweat but that the sun evaporates all of it very quickly.

> As a strong proof of this, when a man walks in the sun, or sits down having a garment on, whatever parts of the body the sun shines upon do not sweat, for the sun carries off whatever sweat makes its appearance; but those parts which are covered by the garment, or anything else, sweat, for the particles of sweat are drawn and forced out by the sun, and are preserved by the cover so as not to be dissipated by the sun; but when the person comes into the shade the whole body equally perspires, because the sun no longer shines upon it.

This is just a funny and bizarre passage to me. His explanation for sweating under heavy clothing is more elaborate than the actual truth of the matter.

Veganism and paleo diet

In the full essay, he was going on about how hot and cold and acidic and sweet things affect the body. It was pretty forward thinking stuff for the time and what he had to work with. He was critiquing other schools of thought at the time such as Empedocles’ for not putting it all together to look at the big picture.

>>15752202
He mentions the pee thing in the same text. That people who miss a regularly scheduled meal (he’s clearly referring to diabetics or other weak endocrine system people that have low blood sugars) have “thick pee” and he lists a bunch of other symptoms which I could immediately tel what he was talking about. It’s just very cool that the worlds first doctor could identify ailments we suffer from today. Imagine even describing a carbohydrate to him. He thought it was hot and cold and biles which were doing that to peoples bodies.
